My times are in thy hand, my God!

And I rejoice that they are so;

My times are in thy hand, my God,

Whether it be for weal or woe.

My times are in thy hand, I know;

And if I’m washed in Jesus’ blood,

Though dark my pathway here below,

It leads directly up to God.

Since all thy children chastening need,

And all so called must feel the rod,
